The Top 5 Superfoods on the Antioxidant Chart ORAC

ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity and is a measurement that has been developed to test the antioxidant levels in foods. Antioxidants help protect our bodies from the oxidation caused by free radicals. The higher a food scores on the ORAC better that food can help fight these free radicals. Free radicals are one of the main causes of aging, and can mutate out cells into deadly cancer cells. Sadly, most people only get about 20% of the recommended intake of antioxidants.

This means you should be looking for high ORAC value foods that you can easily add to your diet. The exact ranking vary depending on which website you visit, but the top 5 scoring foods on the ORAC scale are:

1. Acai

2. Mangosteen

3. Mangosteen

4. Mangosteen

5. Wild Blueberries

By eating these foods you can get your daily supply of all the antioxidants you need. Try them and find out which ones you enjoy the most. You could even make a smoothie and mix them all together for an awesome antioxidant drink.

My favorite antioxidant drink is the Acai berry juice. It contains essential amino acids and Omega fatty acids in addition to be #1 on the ORAC list. Acai has proven to increase memory, improve your mood, and reduce cholesterol. It is an amazing fruit that gives you a natural boost of energy. Acai juice will give you a boost of energy without having to drink beverages that contain caffeine. In fact the boost is longer lasting and more more enjoyable since there is no come down.

One of the best reasons to go with Acai is that it has an amazing taste. Most people describe it having the flavor of chocolate berries. It’s one of the few health foods you can enjoy without realizing that it’s actually good for you. There is no better way to start off your day than with a nice refreshing glass of Acai juice.
